Mo Xi frowned and kept using his eyes to signal him to speak properly.
However, Ji Lin was straightforward and did not notice it.
He stared at Qiao Nian, waiting for an answer.
Qiao Nian took another sip of Coke. She was about to answer when—
Beep beep. Her cell phone suddenly rang.
Qiao Nian casually placed the Coke on the table and looked up at Ji Lin. "Sorry, I have to take this call."
Then, she stood up and walked out.
Ji Lin and Mo Xi moved aside to make way.
Qiao Nian followed the path they made for her and went out.
Mo Xi's face darkened and he pushed Ji Lin's shoulder. "What did you do just now? What did you say? Can't you talk nicely?"
Ji Lin did not think he was wrong. "I spoke properly the entire ti. I didn't say anything wrong."
"Sigh… You!" Mo Xi shook his head, not wanting to talk about it.
Ji Lin turned sideways and solemnly said, "That Nie Qixing isn't worth our trouble, to begin with. Since Miss Qiao is going to his birthday banquet, I have to ask her clearly."
Then, he said, "You're not one of us, you don't understand the situation in Country M. It's difficult to get the invitation to Nie Qixing's birthday party!
"I also asked Miss Qiao out of serious consideration."
Mo Xi was speechless. He waved his hand and begged him for rcy, but his face was unhappy. "Alright, what you said makes sense. Anyway, rember what you said today. Just don't ask Miss Qiao for anything in the future!"
"I also asked Miss Qiao out of serious consideration."
Mo Xi was speechless. He waved his hand and begged him for rcy, but his face was unhappy. "Alright, what you said makes sense. Anyway, rember what you said today. Just don't ask Miss Qiao for anything in the future!"
Wasn't Mo Dong like this back then?
They had always been by Master Wang's side and thought they had seen people and things. They were too proud.
Anyway… as long as Ji Lin did not slap his own face!
Ji Lin's face darkened at his assertiveness, as if with a threat. He waved his hand and ignored him.
…
Outside.
Qiao Nian did not know about the argunt in the room.
She accepted the call and heard a man's refined and polite voice.
"Miss Qiao, excuse for calling you.
"I just received a delivery. Did you send it to the wrong person?"
Qiao Nian lowered her eyelashes and leaned against the wall of the ergency staircase in the hotel corridor. Hearing the man's well-mannered voice, she thought of sothing, and a trace of mockery flashed across her eyes. The corners of her lips curled up as she sneered. "No, it's for you."
The person did not reply.
"I don't seem to know you." Nie Qixing was still graceful, but his tone was tense. It was obvious he was much more cautious now.
Qiao Nian did not take his probing seriously. "It's enough that I know you."
Nie Qixing was silent for a long ti. His eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze quite dangerous.
Just as he was thinking about Qiao Nian's background, the girl continued in a light tone, "I've read your article on atomic energy in Nature. I really want to get to know Professor Nie."
"You read my article on Nature?" Nie Qixing let down his guard.
"Mm."
Qiao Nian causally said, "That painting is my greeting gift. I hope Professor Nie likes it."
…
In a villa in the city center.
Nie Qixing loosened his tie and stretched his neck. His breathing beca much smoother.
At this mont, a servant quietly approached. Seeing he was on the phone, the servant carefully asked, "Young Master Qi, do you want to investigate this person?"
Nie Qixing gave him a cold look.
Didn't he see he was on the phone?!
